What exactly about LUKS is incompatible with use of a kernel compiled to include all key drivers including those to find the root filesystem (thus eliminating a dependency on initrds)? Nothing in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system appears to absolutely require an initrd, for key storage or anything else. Anyway, I don't want to encrypt all discs on my Linux server for numerous compelling reasons, and I'd rather not have a LUKS root filesystem on my Linux laptops, either. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
